St Paul's Church, Winchmore Hill

St Paul's Church is a Church of England church in Winchmore Hill, London Borough of Enfield. It was originally consecrated in 1828 as a chapel-of-ease to the Church of All Saints, Edmonton, and built as a Waterloo church on land donated from the Grovelands estate. The church ceiling was said to be the largest unsupported expanse of plasterwork in Europe until its renovation in the 1960s introduced concealed supports.

Memorials

While a covenant was placed that no burials should take place on the donated land, there is a small garden of remembrance and a number of other memorials. The Garden of Rest, to the south of the church, was set apart in 1961 for the burial of cremated remains.
